AR - Book Level 4.1
Beginning fourth grade level
In "The Battle of the Labyrinth", Percy and three
friends set off on a quest through the treacherous labyrinth, in search of the
inventor Daedalus, hoping that he will help them to defeat the army being
assembled by Luke, son of Hermes. The thing is - Luke is just the messenger,
and the evil he's about to unleash can bring down Olympus itself.
Although still clueless about girls and relationships, Percy starts developing and unleashing his powers, and surprises even himself when he attempts to repeat Hercules' great stable cleansing project. Other demi-gods also come into their own in book four, and a mortal girl proves to be just the ticket, and in the nick of time too. In a related sub-story, the search for Pan reaches an exhilarating climax.
Packed with monsters of all persuasions, gods and demi-gods, rescues, battles and side trips to Alcatraz and Mount St. Helens, this is by far the most exciting book of the series so far.
Amazingly imaginative, thrilling and funny, this series by Rick Riordan continues to be a front runner in children's fiction, and I recommend it without reservation.
